Safety Precautions
WARNING
HIGH VOLTAGE
Frequency converters contain high voltage when
connected to AC mains input power. Failure to perform
installation, start up, and maintenance by qualified
personnel could result in death or serious injury.
Only qualified personnel are permitted to
•
perform installation, start up, and maintenance.
WARNING
UNINTENDED START
When the frequency converter is connected to AC mains,
DC power supply, or load sharing, the motor can start at
any time. Unintended start during programming, service,
or repair work can result in death, serious injury, or
property damage. The motor can start with an external
switch, a fieldbus command, an input reference signal
from the LCP or LOP, via remote operation using a
software tool, or after a cleared fault condition.
To prevent unintended motor start:
Disconnect the frequency converter from mains.
•
Press [Off/Reset] on the LCP before
•
programming parameters.
Ensure the frequency converter, motor, and any
•
driven equipment are fully wired and
assembled when the frequency converter is
connected to AC mains, DC power supply, or
load sharing.
WARNING
DISCHARGE TIME
The frequency converter contains DC-link capacitors,
which can remain charged even when the frequency
converter is not powered. Failure to wait the specified
time after power has been removed before performing
service or repair work could result in death or serious
injury.
Stop the motor.
•
Disconnect AC mains and remote DC-link power
•
supplies, including battery back-ups, UPS, and
DC-link connections to other frequency
converters.
Disconnect or lock the PM motor.
•
Wait for the capacitors to discharge fully before
•

WARNING
UNINTENDED MOTOR ROTATION
WINDMILLING
Unintended rotation of permanent magnet motors can
result in serious injury or equipment damage.
Ensure that permanent magnet motors are
•
blocked to prevent unintended rotation.
WARNING
LEAKAGE CURRENT HAZARD
Follow national and local codes regarding protective
earthing of equipment with a leakage current exceeding
3.5 mA. Frequency converter technology implies high
frequency switching at high power. This switching
generates a leakage current in the ground connection. A
fault current in the frequency converter at the output
power terminals can contain a DC component which can
charge the filter capacitors and cause a transient ground
current. The ground leakage current depends on various
system configurations including RFI filtering, screened
motor cables, and frequency converter power. EN/IEC
61800-5-1 (Power Drive System Product Standard)
requires special care because the leakage current
exceeds 3.5 mA. See EN 60364-5-54 paragraph 543.7 for
further information.
Ensure correct grounding of the equipment by
•
a certified electrical installer.
Grounding must be reinforced in one of the
•
following ways:
-Ensure the ground wire has a crosssection of at least 10 mm2, or
-Ensure 2 separate ground wires, both
complying with the dimensioning
rules, are used.
NOTICE
HIGH ALTITUDES
For installation at altitudes above 2000 m, contact
Danfoss regarding PELV.
WARNING
DC CURRENT RISK
This product can cause a DC current in the protective
conductor. Failure to follow the precautions can lead to
personal injury or property damage.
Take the following precautions:
Where a residual current device (RCD) is used
•
for extra protection, use only an RCD of Type B
(time delayed) on the supply side of this
product.
Protective earthing of the frequency converter
•
and the use of RCDs must always follow
national and local regulations.
WARNING
GROUNDING HAZARD
For operator safety, it is important to ground the
frequency converter properly in accordance with national
and local electrical codes, as well as the instructions in
this manual. Ground currents are higher than 3.5 mA.
Failure to ground the frequency converter properly could
result in death or serious injury.
It is the responsibility of the user, or certified electrical
installer, to ensure correct grounding of the equipment
according to national and local electrical codes and
standards.
Follow all local and national electrical codes to
•
ground electrical equipment properly.
Establish proper protective grounding for
•
equipment with current higher than 3.5 mA.
A dedicated ground wire is required for input
•
power, motor power, and control wiring.
Use the clamps provided on the equipment for
•
proper ground connections.
Do not ground one frequency converter to
•
another in a daisy chain fashion.
Keep the ground wire connections as short as
•
possible.
Use high-strand wire to reduce electrical noise.

To select FC protocol in the control word, set 8-10 ControlWord Profile to [0] Frequency converter profile . The control
word is used to send commands from a master (PLC or PC)
to a follower (frequency converter).
Table 5.4 Bit Values for FC Control Word
Explanation of the control bits
Bits 00/01 Reference value
Bits 00 and 01 are used to choose between the 4 reference
values, which are pre-programmed in 3-10 Preset Reference
according to Table 5.5.
NOTICE
In 8-56 Preset Reference Select a selection is made to
define how bit 00/01 gates with the corresponding
function on the digital inputs.

Table 5.5 Programmed Reference Values for Bits
Bit 02, DC brake
Bit 02=0 - leads to DC braking and stop. Braking current
and duration are set in 2-01 DC Brake Current and 2-02 DCBraking Time.
Bit 02=1 - leads to ramping.
Bit 03, Coasting
Bit 03=0 - causes the frequency converter to immediately
coast the motor to a standstill.
Bit 03=1 - enables the frequency converter to start the
motor if the other starting conditions have been fulfilled.
In 8-50 Coasting Select a selection is made to define how
bit 03 gates with the corresponding function on a digital
input.
Bit 04, Quick stop
Bit 04=0 - causes a quick stop, ramping the motor speed
down to stop via 3-81 Quick Stop Ramp Time.
Bit 04=1 - the frequency converter ramps the motor speed
down to stop via 3-42 Ramp 1 Ramp Down Time or
3-52 Ramp 2 Ramp Down Time.
Bit 05, Hold output frequency
Bit 05=0 - causes the present output frequency (in Hz) to
freeze. The frozen output frequency can only be changed
with the digital inputs (5-10 Terminal 18 Digital Input to
5-15 Terminal 33 Digital Input) programmed to Speed up
and Speed down.
Bit 05=1 - use ramp.
NOTICE
If Freeze output is active, stop the frequency converter
with:
Bit 03 Coasting stop

Bit 02 DC braking
•
Digital input (5-10 Terminal 18 Digital Input to
•
5-15 Terminal 33 Digital Input) programmed to
DC braking, Coasting stop, or Reset and coasting
stop.
Bit 06, Ramp stop/start
Bit 06=0 - causes a stop, in which the motor speed is
ramped down to stop via the selected Ramp down
parameter.
Bit 06=1 - permits the frequency converter to start the
motor if the other starting conditions have been fulfilled.
NOTICE
In 8-53 Start Select a selection is made to define how bit
06 Ramp stop/start gates with the corresponding
function on a digital input.
Bit 09, Selection of ramp 1/2
Bit 09=0 - ramp 1 is active (3-40 Ramp 1 Type to 3-47 Ramp
1 S-ramp Ratio at Decel. Start).
Bit 09=1 - ramp 2 (3-50 Ramp 2 Type to 3-57 Ramp 2 Sramp Ratio at Decel. Start) is active.
Bit 10, Data not valid/data valid
Is used to tell the frequency converter whether it should
use or ignore the control word.
Bit 10=0 - the control word is ignored.
Bit 10=1 - the control word is used. This function is
relevant because the control word is always contained in
the telegram, regardless of which type of telegram is used.
Therefore, the control word can be turned off if it is not
required when updating or reading parameters.
Bit 11, Relay 01
Bit 11=0 - relay 01 not activated.
Bit 11=1 - relay 01 activated, provided Control word bit 11
has been chosen in 5-40 Function Relay.
Bit 12, Relay 04
Bit 12=0 - relay 04 has not been activated.
Bit 12=1 - relay 04 has been activated, provided Controlword bit 12 has been chosen in 5-40 Function Relay.
Bit 13/14, Selection of set-up
Bits 13 and 14 are used to choose from the 4 menu setups according to Table 5.6:
The function is only possible when Multi-Set-ups is selected
in 0-10 Active Set-up.

Bit 07, Reset
Bit 07=0 - does not cause a reset.
Bit 07=1 - causes the reset of a trip. Reset is activated on
the signals leading edge, that is, when changing from logic
0 to logic 1.
Bit 08, Jog
Bit 08=0 - no function.
Bit 08=1 - 3-19 Jog Speed [RPM] determines the output
frequency.
The control word cannot overrule settings in the
frequency converter. For example, when the frequency
converter is stopped via the LCP or a digital input
(coast), it will not accelerate when sending a start
command via bus.
